What we are looking for is a dominant color element in your Selfy. It could be in the shot itself or in the processing or in a combination of both. The meaning of the color in the shot will be up to the photographer. Metaphorical and or literal interpretations are welcome of course.
There are 16 moderators who can assist you along the way with SPP.

Welcome to The Selfy Sunday Project for March 10/13.
*Theme:* *Film Noir*
A hint of mystery and intrigue should creep its way into your selfy this weekend.
Think, moody, dark, dramatic and yes your shot should be in B&W to still be true to the classic style of noir.

Much more about the Peace Day and link to all events around the world.
http://peaceoneday.org
"The International Day of Peace, a.k.a. "Peace Day" provides an opportunity for individuals, organizations and nations to create practical acts of peace on a shared date.
It was established by a United Nations resolution in 1981 to coincide with the opening of the General Assembly. The first Peace Day was celebrated in September 1982........
Anyone, anywhere can celebrate Peace Day. It can be as simple as lighting a candle at noon, or just sitting in silent meditation. Or it can involve getting your co-workers, organization, community or government engaged in a large event. The impact if millions of people in all parts of the world, coming together for one day of peace, is immense."

Hand Picked Photographers Circles - "Unknown or Other" Camera F-H - 25 of 31Note: These circles are sorted by camera type and last name. They are split to not exceed 200 members. These circles are photographers that I admire. They have "more photos, less spam." There have been many additions and a few drops (mostly for spam or inactivity). Be sure to get all of the circles. Share! If you miss any of the circles they can be found at: +Gailen Mapes and scroll back to November 7th for the start of this set. (Previous complete set was published starting October 1st.) You can also use the #handpickedcircles hash tag and sort by "recent."I am hard up against the 5000 limit. From here on, I am going to have to become rather more strict about the "spam rules." Essentially if I have to go back more than a screen on your profile before I hit original material, there is a good chance that I may drop you from the circles. Of course there will be mitigating factors...Because of the way that Google no longer presents every person who adds me to their circles to me it is quite possible that I have missed some pretty good photographers. If I am following you, chances are that you are already in one of these circles or in my "check later" circle. If you think you have been missed, tag a comment on one of these posts and I will check your profile out for inclusion. Guidelines for inclusion can be found at: https://plus.google.com/u/0/103752943025677384806/about#circleshare #circlesharing #circleoftheday #sharedcircles #sharedcircle #sharedpubliccircles #fullcircleshare #addmetoyourcircles #bestsharedcircle #thebestcirclesongoogle #thebestcircle #handpickedcircles Note: the hash tag #handpickedcircles should only be used to refer to these circles and other circles created by +Gailen Mapes .

For many, coffee and sugar represents two superpowers emerged in an unholy alliance. But, just what makes this combo tick, and what is actually what. How does it affect your health and every day life. To find out the answer, we signed a contract with the previous couple to face off inside the octagon to determine who´s top dog and what they do to our bodies.

In the blue corner, Sugar

Pro´s: Sweet and petite, and pretty white.

Cons: Increases body fat, rots your teeth, makes you age prematurely, increases diabetes and cancer and Alzheimer risk. Does not provide fuel for strength or endurance - and does not provide sufficient brain juice. Natures crack even makes you crave an endless array of more sugar when you eat it. That explanation comes down to our past cave men and hunter, gatherer lives - evolutionarily, our mesolimbic pathway reinforced that all the sweet things in nature provided a healthy source of carbohydrates (rich on easy to use energy and calories) for our bodies. While other taste sensations like sour meant far less desirable things. So, the more you eat, the more your dopamine and other neuro pathway signals needs to get triggered.

Which, ultimately is why it is so easy for people to over eat on junk food and why it feels so hard for so many to eat less junk food, not to mention to keep eating healthy food and say no to cookies, ice cream, soda, candy and sweets. Another reason why it initially feels hard to cut down on junk food is that a lot of people tend to get depressed when they start eating less sugar. This is however just temporary, sort of like a crack addict suffering withdrawal problems.

No, this is not just an issue for us Homo Sapiens, in a recent study, by Victor Mangabeira and colleagues, published in "Physiology & Behavior" it is reported that rats who had been trained to press a button to drink water, once exposed to sugar in the water pressed the button many more times than the rats that only had access to pure water.

In the red trunks, Coffee

Pro´s: Wonderful scent,toned, trimmed and athletic. and to boot, all pretty black.

Coffee also provides wonderful warmth and real energy for mind, body, strength and endurance. It protects against cancer, Alzheimer, Parkinson’s, diabetes and obesity. It aids your muscles and mind with real energy, creating a double whammy of good stuff for people that also keep physically active, all good and positive things for creativity, strength, fat burn and endurance. It is also a positive influence for your mood thanks to how it affects the production of some of our natural hormones, such as serotonin and dopamine.

Coffee have also been shown to protect against Multiple sclerosis (MS) which is a degenerative neurological disease.

Cons: It might make you sleep poorly if you drink it too late since it takes as much as 8 hours for coffee to lose its positive hold on your body.

Mutual con

Yes, there is one mutual big disadvantage to both. The industry producing both sugar and coffee rarely takes care of the planet that provides their revenue, nor the health of their workers. But in both cases, we the consumers can of course demand far better behavior from the producers by the shopping choices we make.

Conclusion

Skip sugar - always. And get down with pure black coffee 4 to 5 times per day :). And, if your sweet tooth crave a sweet sensation, try some organic honey in your coffee.

Dreams from Tomorrowalso, a book review and interview with Amanda Bridgeman

To keep up with my march interlude :) (no need to worry, my usual schedule of health, science, fitness, wildlife, equality, history, near future,sultry sex, book publishing and sustainability will soon resume :P) - Here is a short interview and book review i did with author Amanda Bridgeman ahead of her latest sci.fi entry in her space saga, Aurora:Centralis.

And yes, if you pm me your email and preferred choice of ebook, epub or mobi, i will together with Amanda and her Oz based publisher "momentum books" hand out a few (4) free books.

my short review: Aurora:Centralis

I have personally enjoyed my time reading this 4 book space saga and while it is more Star Trek then heavy weight "Game of Thrones" in it´s approach to story telling and world building, and while I prefer the rich world building approach of GoT and wheel of times it worked good enough to get me to plow through 4 books straight up.

So, if you enjoy Star Trek and or Babylon 5 (I personally enjoy Babylon 5 much more then Star Trek tho), then I am pretty confident that you´ll enjoy a trip down Amandas sci fi universe too.

Amanda on her latest book

The Aurora series is the tale of two people fighting to survive the convoluted mission into which they’ve been thrown.

I’m a writer who likes stories that are a mix of action/adventure, drama and romance, with a sci-fi/fantasy/horror backdrop.

I believe if you’re going to throw your characters into an explosive situation, then you need the emotion to match it. All action and no feeling make for a flat story!

So, AURORA: CENTRALIS (Book nr. 4, due out soon) picks up where AURORA: MERIDIAN, left off.

Carrie and Harris have a lot to deal with and the stakes have never been higher. It’s a pretty explosive book plot-wise and answers a lot of questions for readers! And true to her own taste in tales and books, the Aurora series incorporates everything from romance and sex, to fist fights and mad scientists. Space travels and Earth. Genetic experiments and revenge.

All packaged in the same taste and style and pacing, as previously mentioned Star Trek and Babylon 5.

And of course, this post also comes with a springy thingy nature photo of mine :).

Enjoy peeps and have a good one, and dont forget to pm me your email if you´d like a chance to get book 4 in the Aurora sci.fi saga free of charge. (her Oz publisher will email the book to the 4 lucky people i pick).

To all those of you whose birthdays I have missed, hoping they were good:) And to all who mailed and new followers, I am slowing wading through notifications. Still alive and kicking and finally re emerging online after a hectic few months!

Last week one of the photographers I challenged to take part in the ‪#‎fivedayblackandwhitechallenge‬was my awesome friend, +Daniel Sjostrom , loving this shot!

Day 1 of the Five Day B&W Challenge #fivedayblackandwhitechallenge

I was challenged by two good friends, +Shane Srogi and +Louisa Catharine Forsyth As part of the challenge I'm to challenge another friend each day, so let's get going +Thomas Granbacka :)

You who've followed me through the years know that I'm "quite fond of" (to say the least) B&W photos.Something special happens when you get rid of the colours and force yourself to focus more strongly on lines & contrasts. It's not uncommon that I head out with just B&W photos in mind.

What better place to start this 5-days journey but at the beginning of my photographic journey which is late 2011.

Day five, the final day of my #FiveDayBlackandWhiteChallenge where you share a photo from past or present.

'Missing Paradise' Salvador Dalí­ once said that Cadaqués inspired much of his work:

"I have spent a delightful summer, as always, in the perfect and dreamy town of Cadaqués. There, alongside the Latin sea, I have been quenched by light and colour". SD

A phone shot from my most recent vacation, missing the blissful stillness of paradise...

Today I challenge my exceptional sis +Cher Ferroggiaro whose life is ten times busier than mine and that is saying a lot as most of you know I never stop ;-) :-) Sis, I don't mind if you post your pics on your FB Fan page and just link them to your G+ profile, would love to see you take part as you constantly inspire me <3

Wishing you all a beautiful weekend!more »

Day three of my #FiveDayBlackandWhiteChallenge where you share a photo from past or present.

Departure time at the airport today! Quick phone shot on the run!

I'm late on here today thanks to early morning meetings, rushing to the airport as you can see below and finally shopping for furniture & lights which will compliment the product photography "studio".

Thus, lol so If I can get all this done in one day with a fractured hip & knee, I expect no excuses for not posting on time from anyone else taking part in this challenge with me grin And yes, I am a brat! :-)

Today I challenge sweet +Sandy Ao who I have known since G+ was in it's infancy. She's a wonderful soul and photographer! I chose you Sandy, as I think you are like me, much more biased towards color photography than processing in m... more »
